Personal Overview

Hello, my name is Francisco Bartorelli, I am 24 years old, and I am from Uruguay. I have been playing rugby since I was 9 years old and it has been a major part of my life since then.

I have been part of different national youth teams and played in my club, Montevideo Cricket Club until I was 21. In 2021 I was recruited by Arkansas State University, where I played until June 2022, when I was called to play for the Uruguayan franchise Penarol XV for the SLARX, and Uruguay XV against URR in Rosario, Argentina. Now I am playing AIL with Naas RFC in division 1B.

I see myself as an aggressive and physical player both in defense and attack, although I identify myself as more of a defensive player. I am a relentless defender who likes jackaling and dominating the breakdowns. I also like to carry the ball looking for breaking opportunities for me and my teammates.

Conditioning is very important to me, I am always trying to be really fit for rugby.

I am looking for a professional or semi-professional experience from which I can develop myself as a rugby player.
